Spring break is our last break to look forward to before we enter the countdown to the end of the school year. Whether you have a vacation planned, a packed schedule, or absolutely nothing to do at all, there are a number of perks that come along with spring break.
1. No School Work
Whether you’re behind on work, have three papers due the week after break or are the type that has already started studying for finals, spring break is the last break in the semester where you can actually forget about every ounce of work you have and not feel bad about it. So pour another glass of wine and let netflix know that yes, you are still watching it.
2. No Work
Sure, making money is necessary and getting out of a long shift is one of the most satisfying feelings, it feels a lot better to lay in bed, eat, and stalk everyone you hate on twitter and instagram.
3. You Can Do Things On Your Own Time
Being able to go to bed when you want, wake up when you want, and not have to worry about eating alone because your friends are still in class are just some of the perks of being able to do what you want, when you want.
4. You Have Your Room To Yourself For A Week
You can now freely let five hours pass after showering before deciding it’s time to get dressed.
5. You Don’t Have To Walk A Mile To Your Car
Walking to the 281 lot was the equivalent of running a marathon and, let’s be real, walking to park center sucks just as much. Walking outside of your house and seeing your car five feet away from you in the driveway is just as good as waking up on Christmas morning.
6. You Get To Enjoy Your Mother’s Cooking Rather Than Dining Hall Food
Honestly, we don’t even need to get into this.
7. You Get A Week Long Break From A Twin Sized Bed That’s As Hard As A Rock
As if your bed at home didn’t already feel like sleeping on a cloud, the first night you’re reunited with it after sleeping in a dorm room bed is pure bliss.
8. You’re Reunited With Your Puppies
Spring break means it’s no longer necessary to torture yourself with cute puppy vines and instagram pictures when you have an infinite amount of puppy kisses waiting for you in your living room.
9. You Can Count On The Fact That Your Phone Will Always Be Connected To WiFi
You no longer have to worry about running out of data because your phone continuously fails to connect to Cortland’s WiFi (which I’m convinced is a myth anyway). Your WiFi is the one thing you can count on more than most people, so enjoy it while you have it
10. You Probably Have A Vacation Planned, If You’re One Of The Lucky Ones
If you’re blessed to have somehow not spent every dollar you have to your name at the bars and you’re able to go away somewhere with the rest of the college aged population, you’re one of the lucky ones. Enjoy your endless margaritas, UV index of 10 and half naked body lying on the beach while I rot in my bed eating jalapeño chips.
11. If You’re Not On Vacation Like Me, This Is The Perfect Time To Finally Finish The Netflix Series You Didn’t Have Time To Binge Watch
The faster midterms creep up on us, the less time we have to binge watch "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," which means the saddest of pandas we become. But what says spring break better than being in bed covered in chip crumbs and going onto your 7th hour of binge watching shows on netflix?
12. You Have A Real Excuse To Not Go To The Gym
You haven’t seen your family in weeks, spending quality time with them is MUCH more important than dry heaving on the elliptical for an hour
13. You Have A Week Of Enjoying Your Hangovers In Bed And Not In Class
… Or just enjoying them in your bed without feeling bad about the fact that you’re skipping class
